“We are Australians by virtue of our values and beliefs, the way we relate to one another, live our lives and shape our nation. Born of the tragedies of the First World War, Legacy gives effect to what it means to be an Australian. A century of service to war widows, their children and now veterans themselves, Legacy and the support we provide to it is a critical measure of a caring society. In supporting Legacy, we demonstrate we are people worthy of the sacrifices made for us and all we hold dear. Courage, endurance, sacrifice and mateship is Legacy.”

The Hon. Dr Brendan Nelson AO
President Boeing Australia, New Zealand & South Pacific


“The Shrine of Remembrance congratulates Legacy Australia on 100 years of service to veterans’ families. As a memorial founded to honour the service and sacrifice of Australians in war and peacekeeping, we are united with Legacy in ‘keeping the promise’: providing a place for reflection and sharing the stories of those who suffered the consequences of war. World events remind us this is as relevant today as it was at the end of the First World War. Born of that time, both Legacy and the Shrine give succour to those left behind, providing support and somewhere to mourn loved ones lost.”

Dean Lee
CEO Shrine of Remembrance
